About Me

I'm a wife of 1, mother of 3, and grandmother of 10+2 step-grand's. I have been a believer in Jesus Christ as my Savior for over 35 years, and have been involved in planting 3 Bible churches. My husband and I currently serve the Lord with Living Hope Bible Church, an elder-led congregation in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Through the years, I've served as a Sunday School and Bible club teacher, written and edited Bible curriculum for kids, written and produced puppet skits, become a published writer, and learned to paint. More recently, I've enjoyed blogging at Where-We-Live.blogspot.com, and interacting with other bloggers.

The Bible: Who Wrote The Word?

Review previous object lessons in series

The Bible is not a "do it yourself book"It is a "done it for you book"It is like aMirrorMapCompassSword

Give a piece of paper & marker to a child, then whisper a message to him to be written down. (Hello)Hand the written word to another child and have her read it to the group.Pass it to another child or two to read, then hold it up.Whose message or word was this? (Mine)Why wasn't it __________'s (the scribe) message? (She just wrote what I said—It was not her thought, it was mine, and she just wrote it down for you to read)

Hold up BibleWhat is another name for the Bible? (Word of God)

Who wrote it down?God used many different people, but the message or word was always God's word…His thoughtsWe call the Bible the inspired Word of GodInspired means "breathed into"God "whispered into" or breathed His thoughts into people's minds so that they knew what He wanted them to write

Why did God want His thoughts written down?So that we would all hear the same thing and we could know that what we heard was trueIf I tell you something and you tell the next one and she tells the next one, we could make mistakes in what we think we hear

What was the most important thing that God wanted us to know?II Tim. 3:15 "scriptures…wise unto salvation thru faith in Jesus Christ…"How you and I can know God and be with Him foreverWe are sinners and cannot save ourselvesGod has provided Jesus to take the punishment for our sinIf we trust Jesus to take our punishment, we can trust Him to help us please God by the way we live
